Ron Johnson doesn't believe sharing economic bad news will win him any votes. But the senior Republican senator from Wisconsin told a Thursday audience at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum that America must "get off the path" of larger government and escalating debt.

He said fiscal conservatives, as well as all citizens of any political stripe including President Barack Obama, "want the same opportunities for our kids and grandkids as we have enjoyed ... there is wide diversity about how to achieve that opportunity for prosperity."
